Pricing & Registration

2023 Format

πŸ’₯There are no classes at I Heart Balboa.πŸ’₯ 

Our event is an exchange: less stressful & totally focused on social dancing & personal connections.❤

A Weekend Pass includes admission to all of the dances & late nights, on-site Saturday social activities (games, practice sessions, and more) and the Sunday cookout.

Day Passes include admission to all activities/dances on that specific day only.

There is no a la carte admission for individual dances. 

If you want to book a private lesson or small group private class, you can do so by contacting the instructor of your choice. You will pay them directly for your lesson.



2023 Pricing

We're doing away with Price Tiers and Flash Sales and all that stressful reloading of your browser on registration opening day.  Instead, we'll be offering consistent Sliding Scale Pricing for Weekend Passes.

Sliding Scale Pricing is a set of variable rates for the same thing. This price structure allows everyone to access the fun of a dance weekend in a way that is right for their personal financial situation, while still enabling the event to pay its bills.  Those with less resources can choose the lower prices and those with surplus resources can choose to pay at a higher rate. Choosing a higher rate helps to sustain the event and subsidize the discounted admissions (spoiler: regional swing dance events generally operate at a loss or, when very lucky, they break even).

You'll be able to choose your own price for a Weekend Pass, no matter when you register.


Sliding Scale Price         Cost           Suggested for:

Volunteer Price*               $0              folks who are willing to work 4+ hours to offset the cost of their pass

Discount Price                 $55             folks who struggle to meet their needs or who have very little expendable income

Standard Price                 $75             folks who meet their own needs & have some expendable income

Supporter Price                $85            folks with a comfortable amount of expendable income

Sustainer Price                 $95            folks with a surplus of expendable income

Patron Price                     $105           folks with a large surplus of expendable income


*Volunteer Passes will be limited. Please register early if you need to take advantage of this price tier!
